    I am using qt in fedora.
    I want to add an external c++ library( coolprop) to my project in qt.
    here is the library : https://sourceforge.net/projects/coolprop/files/
    the problem is that when I'm trying to add this library as external library type, in Details step (second step) I can't choose any thing for Library file because the library I downloaded doesn't include lib files and I don't know how to add this library.
    I have seen many tuto but since I am nobe I don't know how can I add this library to my project if the library don't have lib files .
    please tell me what file or files I should select in Library file.
    thanks.

      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      Looks like you got the sources of that library. Build it, install it and then you can use it.
